What You Deserve


Locker room talks says “tell a girl I love you and she’ll give you all she’s got”
“Take a girl to Prom and she’ll give you her innocence”
“Give a girl a promise ring and she’ll show you all she’s worth”
“Communicate your feelings and she’ll be an open book”
“Impress her parents and suddenly you are apart of the family tree”

 

Because I love you I vow to put the locker room talk past me
Because I love you I vow to respect your words more than my teammates
Because I love you I vow to not push you for what you’re not ready for
Because I love you I vow to cherish you and your worth till my last breath
Because I love you I vow to communicate my feeling- not just to get what I want- but to honor you
Because I love you I vow to be the real me, not who others expect me to be
Because I love you I vow to be everything you deserve and more
